I look forward to working with all of you, 103 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,760 and as soon as I pass the California bar, I'm sure I'll actually be of some 104 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,539 around here. 105 00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:38,660 Don't worry, Eli. We'll keep you busy. Yes, we will. And on that note, 106 00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:43,300 versus Walters, the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Unified 107 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,980 District. What is this? A 10 -year -old girl, as part of the school's drug 108 00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:50,040 awareness program, brings in some pot that her father was growing. 109 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,640 He gets arrested, serves time. The kid's in therapy. Parents are suing for 110 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,200 damages. How does the father justify the fact that he was using drugs? 111 00:06:58,780 --> 00:07:02,820 He doesn't. He doesn't have to. If his child was encouraged to inform on her 112 00:07:02,820 --> 00:07:07,020 parents, and as a result the family's privacy and civil rights were violated 113 00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:10,060 the child was traumatized, the fact that they smoked pot seems a little 114 00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:13,800 insignificant, don't you think? No, I don't. If the parents were using drugs, 115 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,480 think it indicates that they were derelict in their duties as parents. 116 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,659 It was pot. 117 00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:19,540 It wasn't heroin. It wasn't cocaine. 118 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,460 Pot. Pot is a drug. 119 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,780 Pot certainly is a drug. You've smoked a little reefer in your time, haven't 120 00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:26,780 you, Ernie? Yes, I did. 121 00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:30,630 There was a time in my life when I smoked pot, when I drank to excess, when 122 00:07:30,630 --> 00:07:33,550 fornicated, when I engaged in debauchery of many forms. 123 00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,950 I'm happy to say those days are behind me. Stuart, you have a call. 124 00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:40,990 Who is it? He won't say who it is, just that it's very important. Would you like 125 00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:41,949 me to get rid of him? 126 00:07:41,950 --> 00:07:44,790 Oh, no, no, I'll take it over there, thanks. What do you attribute this 127 00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:50,270 transformation to, Arnie? The arrogance of pride, the pleasures of lust, the 128 00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:56,210 poisons of vain curiosity are the impulses of a soul that is dead. 129 00:07:56,810 --> 00:08:00,110 St. Augustine. God, will these quotations never cease? 130 00:08:00,590 --> 00:08:02,990 Oh, hi. I was just thinking about it. Well, 131 00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:05,369 I'll make time. 132 00:08:05,370 --> 00:08:06,430 You want to come over this afternoon? 133 00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:09,650 All right, where do you want me to meet you? 134 00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:12,570 You're kidding, right? 135 00:08:17,910 --> 00:08:23,050 Mr. Gilleher, will you tell this court what happened to you and your family on 136 00:08:23,050 --> 00:08:24,990 the evening of February 8th, 1993? 137 00:08:27,229 --> 00:08:30,310 When I came home from work, most of my neighbors were out on the street. 138 00:08:30,890 --> 00:08:33,409 There were two police cars parked in my driveway. 139 00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:35,549 My wife had not come home yet. 140 00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:39,150 My daughter Emily was sitting in the back seat of one of the police cars, and 141 00:08:39,150 --> 00:08:41,090 when she saw me, she started to cry. 142 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:45,850 What, if anything, did you do? I tried to open the door, but before I could do 143 00:08:45,850 --> 00:08:48,330 that, three cops came out of my house. They slammed me against the car and told 144 00:08:48,330 --> 00:08:49,330 me I was under arrest. 145 00:08:50,270 --> 00:08:53,070 They handcuffed me in front of my daughter. 146 00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:55,070 They wouldn't let me talk to her. 147 00:08:55,370 --> 00:08:56,630 And she was hysterical by then. 148 00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:00,730 And all the time she's trying to get out of the car, but she can't because there 149 00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:02,470 aren't any handles on the inside of the doors. 150 00:09:02,770 --> 00:09:03,930 What were you charged with? 151 00:09:04,190 --> 00:09:05,930 Cultivating marijuana, ten plants worth. 152 00:09:06,130 --> 00:09:08,070 And what was the outcome of those charges? 153 00:09:08,370 --> 00:09:10,130 I was convicted and I served six months in jail. 154 00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:12,510 My wife was given probation. 155 00:09:14,090 --> 00:09:15,750 I lost my job, she lost hers. 156 00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:17,310 What happened to your daughter? 157 00:09:17,570 --> 00:09:20,730 The first thing that happened was that she was placed into a foster home. 158 00:09:22,670 --> 00:09:23,750 It was felt... 159 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,760 that she would be abused for having reported us. 160 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,860 Would you describe the effect all this had on your daughter? 161 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:35,400 She used to be a real front -of -the -line kind of kid. 162 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,980 She was always real excited about everything. She was always asking a 163 00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:42,700 questions. But now she doesn't even want to go to school or talk to her friends. 164 00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:48,000 She sees a police car and she hides. And she cannot bear to be left alone. 165 00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:53,060 Her whole world is different. 166 00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:56,100 She is ten years old, and her whole world is different. 167 00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:59,260 Thank you, Mr. Gelliher. I have no further questions. 168 00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:04,640 Do you take any responsibility at all for the trauma your child and family 169 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,140 gone through? I take responsibility for growing marijuana. 170 00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:11,640 I do not take responsibility for scaring my child into thinking that anybody who 171 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,740 uses marijuana is either going to die or become a heroin addict. 172 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,140 And I do not take responsibility for turning my child against her parents. 173 00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:20,240 Where did you grow the plant, sir? 174 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,780 In a locked room in the basement. 175 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,070 Did you tell her you kept... pot in there. I did not. Did you and your wife 176 00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:30,430 smoke pot in front of her? No, we did not. Why not? Because she's 10 years 177 00:10:30,690 --> 00:10:33,630 My wife and I don't have sex in front of our daughter, and we don't discuss our 178 00:10:33,630 --> 00:10:36,470 financial problems in front of her either. I was only trying to protect her 179 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:38,190 something that I don't think she's old enough to understand. 180 00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:42,770 When is a child old enough to understand her parents are breaking the law, Mr. 181 00:10:42,950 --> 00:10:46,250 Gellar? Parents break the law all the time, Ms. Halbert. 182 00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:50,450 Sometimes they may drive too fast, or they put an extension on the garage 183 00:10:50,450 --> 00:10:54,770 without a proper permit, or they throw a can of motor oil into the garbage. 184 00:10:54,970 --> 00:10:57,470 That doesn't give them the right to send the police into the classrooms to 185 00:10:57,470 --> 00:11:00,710 manipulate the children into turning in their parents. Have you ever considered 186 00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:05,450 the possibility that your daughter wasn't manipulated at all? That she 187 00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:09,850 the intervention of authorities because she was concerned about her parents? 188 00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:11,009 Drug use. 189 00:11:11,010 --> 00:11:12,690 Objection.

Attorney by yourself, Stuart. 264 00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:05,480 He asked me specifically to go by myself. 265 00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:06,759 That's insane. 266 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,300 And when it comes time to agree to terms, I'll get help. 267 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,520 Today, I'm just going to listen. I know how to do that. 268 00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:24,340 See you tomorrow. 269 00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:27,000 Hey, how you doing? 270 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,219 Fine, thanks. 271 00:15:28,220 --> 00:15:29,220 Do you have an appointment? 272 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,500 Uh, no.

You and me ain't going out no more, so I don't got to tell you 316 00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:31,050 Get used to it, Angelo. 317 00:17:31,370 --> 00:17:34,470 I'm not just leaving you. I'm leaving this whole stinking neighborhood. 318 00:17:34,850 --> 00:17:38,230 I don't want to live in a two -family house with a husband who thinks that I 319 00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:41,210 should kiss his ring just because he gives me a second -hand Camaro. 320 00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:45,050 I got bigger hopes and bigger dreams, and I'm not going to see any of them 321 00:17:45,050 --> 00:17:47,870 true if I stay here. I'm going to make something of myself, Angelo. 322 00:17:48,090 --> 00:17:50,950 I'm going to be happy. I'm going to live on Long Island. 323 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,680 That was incredible. 324 00:17:53,980 --> 00:17:56,800 It really was. Yeah? Oh, thank you. 325 00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:58,100 Oh, thanks. 326 00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:00,300 Thank you. 327 00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:05,680 Dr. Walsh, will you tell the court what Emily's condition was when her mother 328 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,820 first brought her to see you? She was suffering from a rather severe trauma. 329 00:18:09,820 --> 00:18:13,760 father was in jail, and her mother was confused and frightened. And Emily felt 330 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,960 responsible for all of it. How is she today? 331 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,740 Well, she's less anxious than she was, but her sense of security is still 332 00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:21,060 extremely fragile. 333 00:18:21,690 --> 00:18:26,070 She's afraid to depend on or trust anyone, especially authority figures. 334 00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:30,510 world is full of danger for her. Do you have anything against the idea of drug 335 00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:31,530 education for children? 336 00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:36,670 No, I don't. But I think that a curriculum that depicts every drug user 337 00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:39,790 in mortal danger and that manipulates children into a state of heightened 338 00:18:39,790 --> 00:18:43,510 anxiety does a lot more harm than good. What kind of harm does it do? 339 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,880 It forces a child like Emily into having to choose between her parents and her 340 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,380 teacher at a time in her life when she desperately wants approval from both. 341 00:18:51,580 --> 00:18:56,620 And, Doctor, what, in your opinion, was responsible for the psychological harm 342 00:18:56,620 --> 00:18:58,220 done to this family? 343 00:18:58,420 --> 00:19:01,120 The fact that their unity as a family was destroyed. 344 00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:05,980 Emily was encouraged to believe that her parents were going to leave her, either 345 00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:07,360 by going to prison or by dying. 346 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,500 She wanted to protect them. Is that in and of itself an abnormal impulse? 347 00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:15,620 No, it is not. And had she been encouraged to talk to her parents, then 348 00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:19,420 fears could in all likelihood have been quieted without the resulting trauma. 349 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,940 Instead, she was encouraged to confide in Officer Walters. She did so, and her 350 00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:25,940 father was sent to prison. 351 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,900 Thank you. I have nothing further. 352 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,340 Dr. Walsh, in your practice, you see a number of children from abusive home 353 00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:35,000 situations. Is that correct? 354 00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:36,220 Objection irrelevant. 355 00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:39,140 The Gallagher's home was never in any way found to be abusive. 356 00:19:39,420 --> 00:19:42,960 Your Honor, one of the things we're here to determine is whether or not it was 357 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,040 reasonable for Officer Walters to believe it was abusive. 358 00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:49,740 I'll allow it. Witness will answer the question. 359 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,860 Yes, many of my patients are from abusive homes. And isn't it true that 360 00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:59,200 alcohol are almost always part of those abusive situations? Alcohol and drugs 361 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,900 are frequently present in abusive situations, but it is not a cause -and 362 00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:07,560 relationship. Alcohol and drugs do not automatically lead to abuse. 363 00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:12,480 But with the correlation so high, is it unreasonable for a teacher, even a part 364 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,820 -time teacher like Officer Walters, to fear an abusive situation when a student 365 00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:20,080 reveals his or her parents are using illegal drugs? 366 00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:25,580 It's a lot more complicated than that. Please answer my question, Doctor. Is it 367 00:20:25,580 --> 00:20:30,410 reasonable for someone who... works with children to suspect abuse when a child 368 00:20:30,410 --> 00:20:33,050 reveals illegal drug use in her home. 369 00:20:34,370 --> 00:20:39,690 It's not necessarily unreasonable, but I would say one has to look to other 370 00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:41,790 outward signs of behavior before...

What happened on February 6, 1993? 411 00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:13,720 Emily Gallagher came to me after class and pulled a leaf out of her pocket. 412 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,960 She asked me if it was marijuana. 413 00:23:16,340 --> 00:23:17,340 What did you tell her? 414 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,500 I told her that it was. 415 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,860 What did you do next? 416 00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:21,540 I asked her where she got it. 417 00:23:21,770 --> 00:23:22,770 And what did she say? 418 00:23:22,890 --> 00:23:25,550 She said that she got it from a plant in her basement. 419 00:23:25,910 --> 00:23:27,270 Then she started to cry. 420 00:23:28,270 --> 00:23:31,830 She said she was worried that her parents were breaking the law. 421 00:23:32,090 --> 00:23:35,590 I reported the situation to her teacher and to my commanding officer. Two days 422 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:38,730 later, we arrested Mr. Gelliher. I have no further questions. 423 00:23:41,390 --> 00:23:46,810 Is it your testimony, officer, that you didn't use your position of authority as 424 00:23:46,810 --> 00:23:48,770 both a teacher and a police officer? 425 00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:52,960 To manipulate this 10 -year -old girl into informing on her parents? 426 00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:57,440 Yes, Counselor. It's my testimony that I did no such thing. Did you tell her 427 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,000 that she didn't have to answer any questions? 428 00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:00,300 She came to me. 429 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,120 She needed someone to talk to, and she couldn't talk to her parents. 430 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,320 I'll take that as a no. 431 00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:09,280 Did you tell her that answering your questions could result in her father 432 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,440 arrested? She understood that her father was breaking the law. Just yes or no, 433 00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:14,540 Officer Walters? 434 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480 I don't remember if we specifically discussed arrest. 435 00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:22,940 Did you at least let her know when she had crossed the line, if there is a line 436 00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:26,960 to cross, from talking to her friend and teacher to talking to a member of the 437 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,140 Los Angeles Police Department? 438 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,840 When drugs are used in the home, the possibility of the child using drugs 439 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,840 increases significantly. 440 00:24:33,630 --> 00:24:37,470 I thought Emily Gellerher was in a very dangerous situation, so I acted as an 441 00:24:37,470 --> 00:24:38,409 advocate for her. 442 00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:42,150 And my question to you, Officer Walters, is who appointed you to be her 443 00:24:42,150 --> 00:24:44,750 advocate? They did, the minute they broke the law. 444 00:24:44,970 --> 00:24:48,270 Would that be you, the teacher, talking, or you, the cop, talking? Or are you 445 00:24:48,270 --> 00:24:51,270 having as much trouble distinguishing between those two as Emily Gellerher 446 00:24:51,830 --> 00:24:52,830 Objection sustained. 447 00:24:53,550 --> 00:24:54,550 No further questions. 448 00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:17,090 I assume, Mr. Markowitz, that you want to talk about arranging for a surrender. 449 00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:18,350 Is that right? 450 00:25:19,010 --> 00:25:20,910 Mostly, I'd like to hear what kind of terms you're offering. 451 00:25:21,530 --> 00:25:24,110 What kind of terms do you think you're in a position to ask for? 452 00:25:25,050 --> 00:25:29,350 Ones that reflect the context that these events took place in, number one. 453 00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:33,450 And number two, that take into consideration the fact that Mr. Ellison 454 00:25:33,450 --> 00:25:36,010 living as an upstanding citizen for over 25 years. 455 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,440 The last time I looked, Counselor, the act of remaining a fugitive from justice 456 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,260 didn't quite qualify one for the status of upstanding citizen. 457 00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:49,100 What are you looking for, Mr. Shell? 458 00:25:49,420 --> 00:25:50,860 I'm looking to balance the books. 459 00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:52,060 Which means what? 460 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,840 Depends. 461 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,120 Mr. Ellison turns himself in. 462 00:25:56,340 --> 00:25:59,900 We're probably looking at aiding and abetting an escape. 463 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,740 My guess is he'll draw three years suspended, six months served in one of 464 00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:08,350 those...

Not going to 490 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,580 happen. The political climate is very different now from when you first went 491 00:27:33,580 --> 00:27:37,940 underground.

Right now, this man is our prisoner. After he's processed, you can 502 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:13,399 meet with him. 503 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,260 Until then, any attempt to interfere with our operations constitutes a 504 00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:17,660 offense and subjects you to arrest. 505 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:18,960 Do you understand? 506 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000 No, this is not open for debate. 507 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,580 We all agreed that Emily would testify when we filed the suit. No, Mitch, we 508 00:28:42,580 --> 00:28:43,960 agreed to consider it. 509 00:28:44,490 --> 00:28:46,970 Emily's been a nervous wreck about this.

Dr. Wall said it could be helpful because 512 00:28:51,070 --> 00:28:54,750 she feels like it's all her fault. So tell her that it's not. I have told her 513 00:28:54,750 --> 00:28:57,830 that it's not. Tell her again. Tell her so that she thinks you mean it. Emily 514 00:28:57,830 --> 00:29:01,830 needs to take an active role in healing the family. It's not that simple, Mitch. 515 00:29:02,170 --> 00:29:05,630 Testifying in court can be grueling for a child. I don't want to put her through 516 00:29:05,630 --> 00:29:09,090 it. Emily needs to feel like we are all aligned on the same side. 517 00:29:10,510 --> 00:29:12,890 Isn't there any other way of accomplishing that? No. 518 00:29:14,190 --> 00:29:16,210 Look, I don't care if we win that case or not. 519 00:29:16,570 --> 00:29:17,830 I just want to set things right. 520 00:29:18,170 --> 00:29:21,170 And the only way that I know of to make her feel like she's part of this family 521 00:29:21,170 --> 00:29:23,610 again is to let her participate in this. 522 00:29:25,390 --> 00:29:26,390 And that means testify. 523 00:29:33,390 --> 00:29:34,390 Okay. 524 00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:38,070 Four o 'clock? 525 00:29:38,770 --> 00:29:39,950 Let me check my schedule. 526 00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:45,030 Yeah, four o 'clock's doable. 527 00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:46,490 Mm -hmm.

That was a pro hoc vice appearance. 568 00:31:50,980 --> 00:31:53,040 Until I pass the bar, I can't practice in California. 569 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,780 Well, as long as you haven't given up your New York office, this could be a 570 00:31:56,780 --> 00:31:58,980 hoc vice appearance as well.

I never considered being an actress until that day at the 745 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,400 stationery store. 746 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,940 You know, even the audition seemed like a big goof. 747 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,320 You know, when they told me I didn't get it, I was, like, crushed. 748 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,440 You know, it was like something I wanted my whole life. 749 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,160 Stupid, huh? 750 00:42:05,130 --> 00:42:06,130 I don't think that's stupid. 751 00:42:06,490 --> 00:42:07,490 Huh? 752 00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:09,150 No. 753 00:42:12,570 --> 00:42:13,570 Thanks, Penny. 754 00:42:15,250 --> 00:42:20,150 All rise. United States of America versus Jay Ellison. Please be seated. 755 00:42:21,790 --> 00:42:25,190 John Shale, Your Honor, representing the United States government. Jonathan 756 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:26,390 Rollins, representing the defendant. 757 00:42:26,750 --> 00:42:30,070 What are the charges, Mr. Shale? Unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. 758 00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:34,360 aiding and abetting the escape of a prisoner, and conspiracy to murder a 759 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,360 correctional officer. 760 00:42:35,380 --> 00:42:40,180 What? Stuart. Your Honor, I was lied to. I sat with Mr. Shale not two days ago 761 00:42:40,180 --> 00:42:43,700 and was told by him the only charge contemplated was aiding and abetting. 762 00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:47,280 you identify yourself, sir? Yes, my name is Stuart Markowitz. I'm a member of 763 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,280 Mr. Rollins' firm. 764 00:42:48,380 --> 00:42:52,020 Your Honor, no guarantees of any kind were made during my conversation with 765 00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:55,760 Markowitz. But representations were made, Your Honor. The opportunity was 766 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,720 to be provided for me to arrange a surrender. 767 00:42:58,190 --> 00:43:01,490 And no one said anything about conspiracy to commit murder. And no one 768 00:43:01,490 --> 00:43:05,090 anything about the FBI following me in order to rob my client of his chance to 769 00:43:05,090 --> 00:43:08,910 surrender. Mr. Markowitz, I don't know how much experience you have as a 770 00:43:08,910 --> 00:43:12,070 criminal attorney, but the fact is no one had to say anything. 771 00:43:13,750 --> 00:43:15,570 Is the defendant ready to enter a plea? 772 00:43:17,130 --> 00:43:18,990 I am, Your Honor. How do you plea? 773 00:43:19,290 --> 00:43:20,290 Not guilty. 774 00:43:20,330 --> 00:43:21,690 Application for bail, Your Honor. 775 00:43:22,290 --> 00:43:25,650 Application for bail. This man has substantial roots in the community. He 776 00:43:25,650 --> 00:43:29,250 family. The man has been a fugitive. He was ready to turn himself in, Your 777 00:43:29,250 --> 00:43:30,630 Honor. He was denied that opportunity. 778 00:43:30,990 --> 00:43:35,970 He has had 25 years in order to turn himself in. He has proven himself to be 779 00:43:35,970 --> 00:43:40,170 flight risk, Your Honor. The government strenuously opposes his release on bail, 780 00:43:40,290 --> 00:43:41,990 regardless of any amount set. 781 00:43:42,270 --> 00:43:44,370 The issue of bail will be taken under advisement. 782 00:43:44,730 --> 00:43:46,050 In the meantime... 783 00:43:46,270 --> 00:43:51,230 I suggest that you, Mr. Rollins, and you, Mr. Markowitz, determine who it is 784 00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:54,910 that's going to be trying this case, because it's not going to be both of 785 00:44:00,110 --> 00:44:06,950 What was that? Sorry. You think I'm going to miss something? Jonathan, 786 00:44:07,090 --> 00:44:10,110 I said I was sorry. I thought there were things that needed to be said, so I 787 00:44:10,110 --> 00:44:12,710 said them. In the future, I'd appreciate it if you said them to me. 788 00:44:13,330 --> 00:44:17,650 Write me a note, whisper in my ear, and if necessary, I will ask for a recess. 789 00:44:17,770 --> 00:44:20,890 But don't you ever do that to me in front of a judge. Jonathan, I wasn't 790 00:44:20,890 --> 00:44:23,690 to show you up. I was trying to help our client. That's what I'm trying to do, 791 00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:26,930 too, Stuart. And I think maybe our client would be better served if you 792 00:44:26,930 --> 00:44:28,010 didn't come to court. 793 00:44:28,250 --> 00:44:29,250 That I didn't come altogether? 794 00:44:29,530 --> 00:44:31,450 That's right. You're emotionally involved in the case, Stuart. 795 00:44:31,790 --> 00:44:34,770 You're not a trial lawyer, and I don't need anybody backing me up in there. I 796 00:44:34,770 --> 00:44:35,769 understand, Simpson. 797 00:44:35,770 --> 00:44:39,230 I got enlisted in this case because this man was my client and because he is my 798 00:44:39,230 --> 00:44:42,910 friend. And then, unfortunately, because of something I did, I made matters 799 00:44:42,910 --> 00:44:46,590 worse for him. I intend to see this through. I will be in court. I will be 800 00:44:46,590 --> 00:44:49,410 involved in everything that happens outside of court. Nothing will happen 801 00:44:49,410 --> 00:44:52,230 pertaining to this case that I don't know about. And this is not Markowitz, a 802 00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:53,230 tax attorney. 803 00:44:53,310 --> 00:44:55,370 This is Markowitz, the partner in your firm. 804 00:44:58,310 --> 00:44:59,430 Am I emotionally involved? 805 00:45:01,290 --> 00:45:03,070 Like it was me sitting in that jail cell.
